Hazel - you know everything!! Great pics Chico. I don't think I've seen any Monarch's out in BC since I've been here. Maybe they don't come this far West - Hazel?? I know we had them back East when I was a kid.

There is a small western population that winters on the west coast (California) somewhere. Here's a link about the migration routes...but they aren't very specific about where they overwinter or how far north they end up during summer: http://www.fs.fed.us/monarchbutterfl...on/index.shtml

And I only knew about the patches cuz I went to the local nature reserve's kiddy show at their Butterfly House.
